** Due to the increasing severity of MY ILLNESS, it has become impossible for me to continue to post on a regular basis. Unfortunately, as much as I desperately long to, I am also unable to visit each of your blogs often or reciprocate all the loving, supportive comments many of you continue to leave - even though at times it may appear as though you've arrived at some long ago, forsaken blog! With that said, I really want you to know that I miss every single one of you and that I really am still here! I'm just too sick and too weak most days to be able to sit up long enough to create a brand new post...or even read one. However, I absolutely do receive AND read every new encouraging word you leave (and, often, the old ones, again and again!) and I cherish them now more than ever! I truly appreciate your love, support, and, most importantly, your precious time spent on your knees in prayer for my family and me. It ALL means the world to me and I am truly blessed to have friends like you!~Hugs and Sister Love, Teresa

FYI: All comments come to my email, which I can easily read on my phone. I also enjoy Facebook on my phone because I can catch up on A LOT in a very short time there. Soooo, if you're on Facebook, come 'friend' me there! {{HUGS}} **

I still can not believe it has been 15 years since I gave birth to my youngest daughter, Bek. It just does not seem possible. It seems like just yesterday that D and I were bringing her home in her little pink, lacy dress and bonnet. She was a tiny little thing – all 6 lbs and 11 ounces of her.

Then, she grew…..

and grew….

and grew…

and now she’s a young lady…

Tomorrow, Bek enters her sophomore year of high school. My how time has flown! She is amazingly smart, witty and talented. She loves almost anything to do with music. She is heavily involved in all the bands at school. She plays the alto sax in their marching band and plays tenor sax in the symphonic and jazz band. Although the sax is her primary instrument, she can play many others (7, I think!) She is in many gifted and AP classes and is hopefully headed toward a great collegiate career. Above all, she loves the Lord and tries hard to put Him first in all that she does. We couldn’t be more proud of her!

What a blessed mother you are! She is absolutely adorable. I do hope she has had a fabulous birthday!

Thanks for stopping over from SITS. We, too are fellow Georgians and my husband is a firefighter/EMT for Gwinnett. Missions is my passion, but my outlet has to be the church mission committee since the boy was born!

This is my personal blog where I share about my life and personal walk with Christ, as I deal with a very rare and debilitating illness called Dysautonomia/POTS. I hope to educate and help spread awareness about the disease, while keeping my friends and family up-to-date on all that is going on with my family and me.
